罰淫律篇
從來惡孽，惟淫為大，陽罪甚重，冥罰尤嚴，為罰極多，爰撮要端，見此篇者，各宜戒勉。
亂倫之人：永閉地獄，有害人命者，死遭雷擊，戲尸之人，與此同罪。已受陽罰，皆免雷劫，有忠孝事，準抵四分。大善千五，即千五百善亦抵四分。
強姦寡婦：當身絕嗣，受苦地獄，歷五百劫，轉為蟲蟻，又五百劫，轉為禽獸，又五百劫，再轉為人，為娼妓身，已受陽罰，免一百劫。有害人命者，罪加五等。有忠孝事，準抵一半，大善五百，亦抵一半。
謹 按：地獄歷劫者，每一劫，即歷一地獄受刑罰之苦一次也。陰司受罪，非比陽世，雖刑罰一次，其身已死，又必使之復還人形，刑戮如前狀，歷劫 既滿，此罪始完，如再有他罪，再按罪使受地獄刑罰，嘗見《洞冥記》中，詳載犯淫孽者，生前如悔改向善，死後自抵除減罪，如至死不改者，死後由一殿解至各 殿，須歷受誅心獄、銅人獄、割腎獄、鼠嚙、油釜車崩大小各地獄之罪，若亂倫更入亂倫等獄。或永閉地獄，受諸刑罪。蓋刑罰於淫孽，亂倫罪為特重。以上地獄， 各受若干劫，滿後始得轉劫，轉劫者係投生一次，為一劫也。又見《金科輯要》、《輪科輯要》二書中，詳列賞善、罰惡各條，而此冥律諸條，亦有減免加等，準抵 差別，以見善惡分明不爽毫髮，若參觀《金輪》二科，暨《洞冥記》，則因果報應，益信而有徵也。
誘姦寡婦：二世絕嗣，以上之劫，各歷四百即受苦於地獄，為蟲蟻，為禽獸，各歷四百劫。再轉為人，為殘疾身。已受陽罰，免八十劫。有害人命者，罪加四等。有忠孝事，準抵七分。中善五百，亦抵七分。
調姦寡婦：三世絕嗣，以上之劫，各歷三百即受苦於地獄，為蟲蟻，為禽獸，各歷三百劫。再轉為人，為貧賤身。已受陽罰，免六十劫。有害人命者，罪加三等。有忠孝事，準抵九分。小善五百，亦抵九分。
強姦處女：子女淫佚，以上之劫，各歷四百即受苦於地獄，為蟲蟻，為禽獸，各歷四百劫。再轉為人，為奴僕身。已受陽罰，免一百劫。有害人命者，罪加四等。有忠孝事，準抵一半。大善四百，亦抵一半。
誘姦處女：二世絕嗣，以上之劫，各二百五即受苦於地獄，為蟲蟻，為禽獸，各歷二百五十劫。再轉為人，為疾病身。已受陽罰，免七十劫。有害人命者，罪加三等。有忠孝事，準抵七分。中善四百，亦抵七分。
調姦處女：妻女償還，以上之劫，各歷一百即受苦於地獄，為蟲蟻，為禽獸，各歷一百劫。再轉為人，為中貧身。已受陽罰，免四十劫。有害人命者，罪加二等。有忠孝事，準抵九分。小善四百，亦抵九分。
強姦室婦：妻女償還，以上之劫，各三百五即受苦於地獄，為蟲蟻，為禽獸，各歷三百五十劫。再轉為人，為隸卒身。已受陽罰，免一百劫。有害人命者，罪加三等。有忠孝事，準抵一半。大善三百，亦抵一半。
誘姦室婦：減壽二紀（一紀十二年也），以上之劫，各歷一百年即受苦於地獄，為蟲蟻，為禽獸，各歷一百劫。再轉為人，為孤獨身。已受陽罰，免三十劫。有害人命者，罪加二等，有忠孝事，準抵七分。中善三百，亦抵七分。
調姦室婦：減壽一紀，以上之劫，各歷七十即受苦於地獄，為蟲蟻，為禽獸，各歷七十劫。再轉為人，為中貧身。已受陽罰，免二十劫。有害人命者，罪加一等。有忠孝事，準抵九分。小善三百，亦抵九分。
以上三條（寡婦、處女、室婦）：俱屬異姓，若屬親戚，加倍治罪。有服之親，罪次亂倫；若在喪中，罪加三等。無論僕婦，無論奴婢，姦淫之罪，俱照上論。姦事未成，減壽半紀，有害人命者，照成姦論。
淫一娼妓：減壽半年，染惡疾者，減壽一年，若能改悔，兔去減壽，遺一子女，為獸一世，若能改悔，免為走獸。
漁獵男色（此即同性戀者）：與婦女同。十六以上照處女論，十六以下，照室婦論；挾幼童者，照淫娼論。
造淫書者：減壽二紀，若有因閱書造成淫害，罪坐已身，書不消滅，永不超生，拍攝淫戲春宮，與此同罪。
揚一淫事：減壽半紀，若有害人命，減壽一紀；談閨閣者，與此同罪。若能改悔，罪俱減等。
陸判官淫律補篇（判官名之道，宋時人也）
凡姦淫之事：有用藥打胎，致喪一命者，加倍治罪。
凡姦淫處女：在十二歲以上者，雖屬誘姦調姦，俱以強姦論，若有害人命者，加倍治罪。

凡娶一寡婦：留夫家一子女者，減壽二年，子女致死者，減壽一紀。
凡朋友相見：談淫佚之事者，三次，減壽一月。致人有淫事者，減壽三年；有功名者，罰停遲功名。
凡路遇美色：目逆而送之，三次，減壽半月。若假託殷勤，實存惡意者，一次，減壽一算（一算三月也）。
凡喜聽淫戲者：一次減壽三月。有功名者，罰停遲功名。點淫戲者，一次，減壽一算，若有所害，轉獸一世。
凡喜看淫書者：三次，減壽半月，致生疾病者，減壽三年。
凡誘人行淫事者：照人所犯之罪減二等，父兄縱子弟行淫者、縱僕類者亦同。
陸判官云：按此冥罰，各淫罪固難稍寬，而亂倫之罪尤重，無論以卑凌尊，以長欺幼，死後俱入無間地獄。今日世風大壞，犯此者每出於仕宦之家，讀書之子，相染日久，習以為常，迷不知恥，將不知所終。 諸神仙不得已，奏明
玉帝將冥罰明傳陽世，不必隱諱，其有見此冥罰，而知悔改者，減罪。行忠孝者，減罪。積功德者，減罪。若見此篇仍不知改悔，反加毀謗者，定遭惡報 或雷擊，或有見此篇遵信而廣傳者，傳一百人，增壽一紀。傳二百人，無子得子。傳三百人，增壽二紀。傳四百人，子孫盛昌。傳五百人，功名連綿。傳一千人，名 登赤籙。傳流天下，死後成仙。傳十富豪，抵傳二百人。傳一仕宦，抵傳百人。此皆經 孚佑帝君奏明
玉帝，照准施行。
謹 按：《金科輯要》，係清咸豐六年， 文昌帝君降於湖南醴陵縣之擂鼓橋誠盡林，此科原乃 上帝所定，秘之玉篋， 文帝懇求 玉旨，頒行人 世，發明天律，又曰陽律，罰民之惡，降災劫以誅其心。清光緒三年， 文武二帝，懇蒙 玉帝准後，頒《輪科》彰明陰律，核人之罪，有地獄以誅其魂，又經 諸 仙述輯，凡《金科》所未盡有者，是書續傳其旨，飛鸞繕稿，普示人間。
雲水憐心按：古時要廣傳多人，非耗費很久時間，甚至數百年以上方能流傳天下，然拜網路科技所賜，如今只要移動滑鼠點按貼文，一夕之間即可完成古 時不可能的任務， 上天慈悲，亦未因為科技發達而否定或改變古時頒佈的《冥罰淫律》明傳陽世施行條文，同時這也是給有心改過、有緣、有幸能夠看到此篇條文 的善信大德最好、最大、也最快的改過、積陰德方案，如果您有心廣傳天下，看要複製貼上任何論壇、BBS站、部落格、家族、文章、個人網頁，甚至再懶一點只 貼《雲水憐心》網址http://lookbooks.org，吸引他人瀏覽亦達廣傳之效，不用客氣，《雲水憐心》完全支持您，您愛怎麼轉貼隨您運用，
且《功過格》有云：
「凡人有過錯，低心相勸，曲挽從正，犯錯者遵從：記50功；
凡人有過錯，低心相勸，曲挽從正，縱使他人不聽：記5功。」
聰明人應該知道怎麼做吧～反正不管他人遵不遵從，只要有人瀏覽了《冥罰淫律》就開始記功，若有心勸人者、發大無畏心者，可直接發佈運用，若因此被人嘲笑、揶揄，您仍被記功，若因此挽救沈淪學子則記功更多，《功過格》有云：
「造一部戒淫書：記300功；
當欲染境，守正不染：記50功；
發一言利及百姓：記50功；

Singaporeans feel tremor from strong earthquake!!!!!!DON'T BUY CONDO. APARTMENT MORE THAN 6 STOREYS!!!
SINGAPOREANS ARE WORRY........MALAYSIANS ARE NOT SO WORRY....THEY THINK WORST WILL NOT COME TO THEM...........???AS USUAL, MALAYSIANS NEVER USE HEADS TO THINK IF WORST IS COMING, THEIR CONDO, APARTMENT, ....GONE TO HOLLAND, WHAT SHALL THEY DO?????HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT???
Professor Kerry Sieh, professor of Geology, Earth Observatory of Singapore, NTU, said: "It's definitely getting worse. The earthquake sequence began in 2000 with a 7.9 about 800 km away from the south of Singapore. You haven't felt this big of a sequence of earthquakes that is many large earthquakes for at least 175 years."

is singapore really that safe as was initially presumed all this time? should our buildings be built with earthquake proof structures in mind or maybe wait for something disastrous to happen before this government might want so start thinking about it? maybe when the disaster aactually really happens and then someone might surface to repeat his infamous sentence it has happened, what to do?

You know, in geography we were taught about plate tectonic movements etc...and it is often assumed since Singapore is not situated on a plate, we are safe from earthquakes. Now, I didn't do very well in geography, but i think tectonic plates (a) grow in size; (b) shift their locations with every quake right? So can we say over the centuries or so, these are moving closer and closer to us, hence larger and more frequent tremors felt? This time even people in M'sia felt it, and it's a 7.6 quake. Imagine one that is 8...

Think Singapore is safe from quakes?
Distance may not guarantee safety, going by past cases
Christopher Tan, Straits Times 12 Sep 08;
Dr Spranger also pointed out that cities sited away from tremor-prone zones are not necessarily immune to the devastating effects of earthquakes.
He cited the case of Mexico City. 'In 1985, a quake occurred off the Mexican coast. About 300km away in Mexico City, buildings collapsed, and there were 10,000 fatalities.
'Between the coast and Mexico City, you didn't feel the earthquake.'
In Singapore's case, the Republic is vulnerable to certain shockwaves that can travel long distances, he said.
'Only the long waves arrive and they affect mostly high-rise buildings and especially those built on reclaimed land.
'In that respect, the risk has changed because Singapore has a lot more high-rise buildings on reclaimed land now.'
xxxxxxxxxx
If what the experts said is true, it is very scary for people living in Singapore. The amount of tremors and strength was even much stronger than past experiences. The question now is, when will it hit us real hard or will it ever affect us. I hope our leaders and our local experts will tell us the truth. Our casualties will really be very high especially when 90% of us are living in highrise apartments or working in beautiful tall office buildings.

每一年,我国都会面对至少一次的"高楼大震动"..........
一年两三次也有过,不过,每次过了大家又不当一回事!!!
很少人愿意去思考..........万一发生了大件事,有至少几座高楼出现大裂痕.....或斜了........
高楼价格大跌...........你会如何是好???
思考一下.....万一......
预料在未来3年内会有大件事发生............当然不一定是高楼大厦斜了.......但是,如果发生了,你如何应付自如???

BJCorp
What’s Up? … dated Sept 2009
Berjaya Corp Bhd (BCorp) has proposed the relisting of Singer (M) Sdn Bhd and 7-Eleven (M) Sdn Bhd on Bursa Malaysia under Berjaya Retail Bhd (BRetail).
Several large companies have proposed listing their subsidiaries. They include Singapore-based Wilmar International Ltd which is listing its China arm and Maxis Communications Bhd which is listing its Malaysian arm.
The group is planning an IPO for its chain of convenience stores numbering 1,068 outlets. Together with Singer’s existing chain, BRetail will have under its umbrella 1,500 outlets with revenue of close to RM1.5 billion.
In the restructuring prior to listing, BCorp will sell Singer to BRetail for RM360 million and 7-Eleven will be transacted for RM600 million. The price was based, among others, on the forecast pre-tax profit of the two companies for the year ending Dec 31, 2009 and represented a price-earnings multiple of 23.5 times.
BRetail will pay for the assets by issuing new shares, irredeemable convertible preference shares (ICPS) and assume debts owed by BCorp or its related companies to Singer and 7-Eleven.
In a move to reward shareholders, BCorp proposed a dividend-in-specie of one BRetail share for every 10 BCorp shares. The number of BRetail shares to be distributed as dividend-in-specie is expected to be between 337.6 million and 471.9 million shares depending on the share capital of BCorp.
BCorp proposed to dispose of its residual BRetail shares, amounting to 101.88 million shares at 50 sen each, in an offer-for-sale exercise to approved bumiputera investors, bumiputera public, shareholders of BCorp, the general public and employees of BCorp and BRetail.
The largest chunk of 91.87 million shares is allocated to approved bumiputera investors. The company envisaged the proposed dividend in-specie and proposed offer for sale will enable BRetail to meet the public spread requirement of 25%.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the proposed listing is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year (2010).
Financial Results … It posted a year-on-year growth of 23.9% in net profit to RM40.88 million for its first quarter ended July 31, 2009 despite losses arising from dilution of interest and partial disposal of investment in subsidiary companies.
The loss on dilution of interest in subsidiaries reported at RM49.97 million and loss on partial disposal at RM24.6 million were offset by the writeback of impairment in value of associated companies and other quoted investments, gains on sale of quoted investments totalling RM66.57 million as well as recognition of negative goodwill of RM12.3 million.
Together with higher sales from the consumer marketing business, higher brokerage and investment income from the financial services division, and higher profits from the gaming business from lower prize payout, pre-tax profit grew 34.7% to RM184.3 million from the year-ago period.
The earnings growth came on the back of an 8% higher revenue of RM1.61 billion. This was attributed to higher contributions from the consumer marketing business, especially Cosway (M) Sdn Bhd from both Malaysia and overseas markets of mainly Hong Kong and Taiwan , as well as the property development business.
Earnings per share in the quarter rose 0.18 sen to 1.04 sen compared to the same period a year ago. No dividend was declared for the quarter.
Going Forward …
Although BJcorp’s shareholders would stand to gain a dividend-in-specie of one BRetail share for every 10 BJCorp shares from the listing of BRetail, the biggest winner that is likely to emerge from this deal is BJCorp’s chairman Tan Sri Vincent Tan. This is primarily on account that Tan will be able to realize his investments from BRetail’s acquisition of 7 eleven Sdn Bhd.
Prior to listing, BRetail will also buy Singer Sdn Bhd from BJCorp’s subsidiary Cosway Sdn Bhd. The two purchases are to paid by BRetail in shares, preference shares and some cash.
A salient point is that Tan is injecting his privately 7 eleven into BJCorp. Also to be noted is that the acquisitions are mainly in shares, which means the recipients, including Tan will have to ride along with the fortunes of the company.
Effectively, BRetail’s acquisitions price in Singer and 7 eleven will be 23.5 times PE multiples their net profits forecasts. The valuation based on prospective earnings is higher when compared with the two companies’ indirect peers.
Tan is effectively owns the entire stake in 7 eleven via a slew of private companies.
Upon listing, Tan will own more than a 50% stake in the company, held through his family companies and BJCorp. Assuming that all the ICPS are converted, his interests in BRetail will rise between 73.8% and 83.38%.
But it will be interesting to look at the appreciation in investments that Tan will realize on completion of the deal against his initial investments … six times more for 7 eleven and more than RM220 million gains for Singer.
Considering the prices at which BRetail acquired the asserts, a question that arises is whether that these companies will be able to justify the valuations.

财富的降临和拥有,是两回事......Winning Lotto numbers not always the ticket to dreams, success
TAMPA - One person's blessing is another person's curse.
Most of us dream of winning the lottery; of days spent leisurely on the new boat, or jetting to sun-splashed beaches in southern France. For some, that sudden wealth is a burden; a constant struggle of having to say no to family and friends and yes, take what you want, to the government.
In all the cases, the sudden, life-changing wealth changes them. Whether the change is for the better depends on the person. While some relish never having to worry about how much a car or house costs, others find the newfound wealth too much to handle.
Some have stories about dreams fulfilled, about investments that ensure wealth for generations to come. Others talk about making an effort not to change at all; of continuing to work; of driving the same car, living in the same house.
And others tell of a plague of problems and of sieges of beggars; family, friends and strangers; of lawsuits between relatives and of being dragged to court by the government; and in one case, prison on tax fraud charges.
Many, contacted for this story, just didn't want to talk about it. Here are a few who did:
Jay Vargas
Jay Vargas was only 19 last year when he won $35.3 million in the Powerball jackpot. He lived in South Carolina and worked a no-end-in-sight construction job. At the time, he lived on his own, went to school, worked and paid his own rent, he said. Life was hard.
Then his numbers came in. His life forever changed.
"I was living large, at first," he said. "I partied hardy. When this first happened, I partied like a rock star."
Having to deal with sudden wealth at first was a problem.
"I thought about how I'm going to maintain it," he said. "That was the biggest thing. I had hundreds come up to me looking for money. I had a lot of lost cousins."
He said that for the past year and a half, he has kept track of his own money and kept the partying to a minimum, which isn't so easy when you're 20 years old, with millions in the bank. He took a course in personal finance and so far has been on what appears to be the right track.
"I watch my own money myself," he said, and he has made sure his life slowed down since he came to Tampa.
Now, the young entrepreneur is dabbling in the creation of a reality television show that melds two of his dreams: professional wrestling and beautiful women. He spends all his time promoting the project called "Wrestlicious."
He works on the show out of the New Tampa home he shares with his wife and former model, Shana, and his new baby daughter.
He chose Tampa, he said, because it is home to a lot of professional wrestlers who he wants to get to appear on his show.
"Wrestling is to Tampa," he said, "like NASCAR is to Charlotte." Wrestlers live here and that's who he needs to be part of his show. "If you go out," he said, "you are going to just see a lot of those guys."
He plans on staying in Tampa.
"I love it here," he said. "I plan to stay here for awhile. And I'm still working. But it's just following my dream working, the kind of work that I want to be doing,"
Rhoda Toth
For $13 million Lotto winner Rhoda Toth, who, along with her second husband, Alex, picked the winning Lotto numbers in 1990, the good luck spiraled into full blown misery.
The winnings accelerated a downward trajectory for the Hudson couple, ending in allegations of infidelity, gambling losses, estrangement, death and prison.
The money sparked enough strife within the Toth family to spark a lawsuit pitting mother against daughter.
Now 30, Tifany Diehl, the daughter, lives in Indiana and is largely estranged from Rhoda Toth, her on-again, off-again mother. Only recently has she begun speaking to her and then, only sparingly via e-mail and telephone conversations to the federal lockup that her mother calls home.
"I hurt every day inside not having a mother in my life," Diehl said.
The winnings didn't make a monster out of her mom, but it didn't help, either, Diehl said. Rhoda Toth abandoned her first husband and her two children long before she won the lottery.
"There is a piece of my heart that hates that woman," Diehl said in a recent interview. After she hit the Lotto, Toth tried to woo her children back into her life, but it didn't work.
"She was busy gambling and running with men and living the high life," Diehl said, and within two years of the windfall, the Toths were borrowing money to pay bills.
The Toths found themselves living in a trailer in Pasco County, drawing electricity from a device hooked up to a running car engine. The 25-year marriage, which had been in trouble for years, crumbled amid allegations of infidelity and that was before the Internal Revenue Service came knocking, looking for $1.1 million it says the Toths owed in back taxes.
Alex Toth died in 2008, several months before his trial on tax fraud charges and last year, a federal judge ordered Rhoda Toth to serve two years in prison.
The 52-year-old ex-multimillionaire pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns over several years.
Rhoda Toth is in the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas. She is scheduled to be released in April and she's counting the days, she said in a recent telephone interview.
She's well known among the inmates there because of her Lotto history, she said. They call her Martha Stewart.
"I'm struggling," she said. "It's very hard, depressing. I have no family left. It seems like it's been a curse on the family from day-one. When we found out we had the winning ticket, I was in shock. I told him [her husband, Alex] I wanted to give it back, I was not happy."
The money flew out of the accounts, she said. Gambling and living large took a lot of it. Giving it away took the rest, she said.
"We were trying to please everybody," Toth said. "We were buying cars and homes and taking people on vacation and doing things with them they have never gotten to do. Our friends, they didn't have anything. We were paying their bills and buying them clothes. We didn't want them running around like we were running around before."
She has some advice to lottery winners.
"I would go get financial counseling," she said. "I'd make sure I'd get a proper attorney and two accountants who knew what they were doing, who specialized in this kind of thing. I would go get some type of counseling myself to make sure I was able to control and handle all this."
That winning ticket, she said, ruined her life.
"I have a trailer with no power," she said. "I have no husband. He gave up. He didn't want to live anymore. He hated life in general. He hated the way the money took us down."
When she gets out, she plans to move back to Florida where a widow's pension and a disability check amounting to nearly $1,100 a month will have to do. Out of that, she has to pay $100 a month to the IRS, which has placed a lien on her home and all her property, she said.
"It's like a curse," she said. "I will never get out from underneath the IRS for as long as I live. And when I die it will still be there."
Tony Antoniou
Mamas Kitchen's owner Tony Antoniou was born in Cyprus and won $12 million in the lottery in 1998.
Antoniou had always wanted to travel, and now he's fulfilling his dream, although he still owns the popular eatery -- well, actually, three Mamas restaurants in the Tampa Bay area and one in Nevada. That's not to mention investments in his native land.
His three sons run the restaurants, said Mike Antoniou, who oversees the Mamas on North Florida Avenue.
The original Mamas opened on South Dale Mabry Highway in 1995 and served as the home-away-from-home for servicemen and women stationed at MacDill Air Force Base. Back then, Tony Antoniou just never took time off because he felt obligated to his customers there.
Now with his restaurants still in the hands of family, he travels a lot, Mike Antoniou said.
When he first came to the United States in 1968, he worked nights in the basement of a hotel across from LaGuardia Airport in New York.
There's nothing like a $12 million windfall to get your hands out of the dishwater.
Investments in real estate years ago are solid, even in the downturned economy, Mike Antoniou said, and his father seldom shows up at the eateries in town, opting rather for trips to Greece and around the states.
"He's enjoying his life," Mike Antoniou said, adding with a chuckle, "He's making his sons work, though. He says, 'Hey, it's my money.'
"He's flies around a lot, between Greece and Nevada and here," his son said. "He's everywhere. He has a family business in Greece.
"Things," he said, "are going well."
Larry J. Gispert
Larry J. Gispert, director of Hillsborough County's Emergency Operations Center, claimed the Jan. 12, 2007, $1.8 million Mega Money jackpot. Gispert chose the one-time lump sum payment of $1.3 million.
"I don't think he wants to talk," said a woman who answered the telephone at Gispert's South Tampa home. He himself wished to keep news of his windfall on the down-low, even more than two years after his ship came in.
Gispert continues to direct operations at the EOC, taking center stage as spokesman during disasters, such as hurricanes. A county employee for nearly 30 years, Gispert has been in charge of the EOC for the past 16 years. He did not wish to be interviewed for this story.
Noreene and James Gordon
Noreene and James Gordon, a north Tampa homemaker and a retired textile worker, claimed the February 2000 Florida Lotto jackpot of $52.4 million. They chose a one-time lump sum payment of $24 million. Their first big planned purchase: a cell phone for James.
Things have changed since then.
"It's a nightmare," she said recently, with friends and strangers knocking and calling for a chunk of her prize.
"They don't want a piece," she said. "They want it all."
Her husband died in 2006, and she has suffered three strokes since the windfall.
"People come out of the walls to take advantage of you every day of your life," she said before ending the short telephone interview.
Betty Ann and David Messick
In December 1998, four years after winning a $9.5 million lottery, Betty Ann Messick and her husband, David, climbed back into the work force and opened the Apple Tree restaurant in Plant City.
Their money train arrived in the form of a Lotto ticket in April 1994. At the time, David Messick worked in the Plant City Parks and Cemetery department. It didn't take long for him to decide to retire. But four years later, the Messicks un-retired.
The restaurant remained open until just recently when the shopping center where it was located remodeled and reconfigured the space. The Apple Tree never returned.
Bill Griffiths
Bill Griffiths of San Antonio won $4.1 million on June 13, 1998, a third of the total Lotto jackpot. He was 27 at the time.
"After I double-checked my numbers on Sunday," he said at the time, "I walked into my shop on Monday at Zephyrhills Bottled Water Co. and told my boss I quit."
With $208,666 coming his way in annual installments over 20 years, he made his hobby his full time labor of love: drag racing. Griffiths planned to pursue the sport full time and not have to worry about expenses.
The 1989 Pasco High School graduate who at the time was single and lived with his parents, vowed to put some of his winnings into a home of his own. He could not be reached for comment.
Here are the numbers
The Florida Lottery first started selling chances on Jan. 12, 1988; that was for a scratch-off game called "Millionaire."
During the past 21 years, the lottery has donated more than $20 billion to education and doled out more than $30.4 billion to winners.

华团领袖穿清朝服装（自愿做奴才？）向老马敬茶大会”!!!
回顾历史，在前前任首相马哈迪医生末年，马华总会长“臭鱼头林”因为孩子林熙隆炒股票被苏启文（现为公政党领袖）带去荷兰，欠下一屁股债，又因强硬收购南洋报业与华社关系两极化；在一些“华人”师爷如李金友、林国荣等人忠告下，老马首相决定开创大马政坛历史先例，礼聘郑文杰律师为华人政治秘书，从南洋商报请来副总编辑钟启章做华人新闻秘书，取代马华的地位，全职为华人社会服务，领导华社领袖们“臣服”在老马首相的领导之下。
郑文杰获得大马华人行业社团总会会长刘磐石的协助，在布城举办了“华团领袖穿清朝服装（自愿做奴才？）向老马首相敬茶大会”，轰动一时；接下来，刘磐石又获得其後台老板拿督高晴添太平局绅（阿叻哥）的协助，与郑文杰在武吉惹礼尔体育馆举办“华团支持英语教数理”大集会。
投挑报李，为了酬谢刘磐石的协助，郑文杰通过首相办公署，同时向雪州苏丹和最高元首推荐刘磐石封赐“拿督”，造就了刘氏今天“双拿督”的崇高地位。老马引退後，郑文杰仍然留在他身边“打死不走”，钟启章重回南洋商报服务。

一个问题:..文中提到:............郑文杰获得大马华人行业社团总会会长刘磐石的协助，在布城举办了“华团领袖穿清朝服装（自愿做奴才？）向老马首相敬茶大会”，轰动一时!!!!
郑文杰一个人和大马华人行业社团总会会长刘磐石是不可能在布城举办了“华团领袖穿清朝服装（自愿做奴才？）向老马首相敬茶大会”!!!!
应该还有一些人帮助的...........
这样大的场面.......那里可能由郑文杰和大马华人行业社团总会会长刘磐石来搞呢????

一个问题:..文中提到:............郑文杰获得大马华人行业社团总会会长刘磐石的协助，在布城举办了“华团领袖穿清朝服装（自愿做奴才？）向老马首相敬茶大会”，轰动一时!!!!
郑文杰一个人和大马华人行业社团总会会长刘磐石是不可能在布城举办了“华团领袖穿清朝服装（自愿做奴才？）向老马首相敬茶大会”!!!!
应该还有一些人帮助的...........
这样大的场面.......那里可能由郑文杰和大马华人行业社团总会会长刘磐石来搞呢????
